Brief Description

Freshman CS student seeking someone who loves coding and is technical for Hitsnag.com.

What is your invention idea?
A universal notepad into any of your productivity apps that lets teams organize and execute tasks and ideas right from inboxes (and eventually SMS, and Slack), without having to open another app.

What societal problem does your invention aim to solve?
You have to stop what you're doing, search for that file or app to get things done, or assign tasks to your team; however, you could avoid the search and organization mess altogether and simply add information to where it needs to be addressed later or now while removing the need for people to have to deal with a “later” to sort it in the first place.
 
What is the current status of the project?
Currently trying to drill down on the problem in regards to seeing how teams are using product and go deeper into that pain point; Just went from paid to free and within the span of a week after switching, gained 1k users earlier this summer: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3618591/google-docs-trello-notion-inbox.html.

Hitsnag.com has 1.3k users; however, user engagement is a large goal of mine as my ability to build products and market at the same time is greatly impacted as my prior co-founder left to pursue college across the US. Moreover, my summer was packed with wisdom tooth surgery, summer school at GT, and getting ready to transition to college and I am trying to ramp back up engagement as I find more time to dive even further into Hitsnag. I have worked on it over the summer but being solo is a drag sometimes!
 
I was in the Startup Exchange Fellowship program with Hitsnag as a high schooler in a GT only program and ended up winning and ultimately arriving here at GT!

I've worked on projects and coding things since I was a kid, also more recently (5 years ago) got into startups and can't give them up because of energizing they are.
